As the food burned, chemical energy was transformed into thermal energy. Thus, a form of potential energy was converted to a form of kinetic energy.

Hope I helped! :)

Answer:

Chemical energy is converted into thermal and mechanical energy while kinetic energy into potential energy.

Explanation:

As the breakdown of food started, the chemical energy present in the food substances converted into thermal energy and mechanical energy. Thermal or heat energy is used to maintain the body's temperature while mechanical energy is used in other activities such as movement of muscles. Kinetic energy is also converted into potential energy when the object moves from top of a place such as hill.

How does the air on a hot day compare with the air on a cold day?

MrMuchimi

Air on a hot day translates to hot air and air on a cold day translates to cold air. The hot air usually have more energy due to particles being more excited by the heat.

If you have 100 ml of a 0.10 m tris buffer (pka 8.3) at ph 8.3 and you add 3.0 ml of 1.0 m hcl, what will be the new ph?

The new pH is 7.69.

According to Hendersen Hasselbach equation;

The Henderson Hasselbalch equation is an approximate equation that shows the relationship between the pH or pOH of a solution and the pKa or pKb and the ratio of the concentrations of the dissociated chemical species. To calculate the pH of the buffer solution made by mixing salt and weak acid/base. It is used to calculate the pKa value. Prepare buffer solution of needed pH.

pH = pKa + log10 ([A–]/[HA])

Here, 100 mL of 0.10 m TRIS buffer pH 8.3

pka = 8.3

0.005 mol of TRIS.

∴ $8.3 = 8.3 + log \frac{[0.005]}{[0.005]}$

inverse log 0 = $\frac{[B]}{[A]}$

$\frac{[B]}{[A]} = 1$

Given; 3.0 ml of 1.0 m hcl.

pka = 8.3

0.003 mol of HCL.

$pH = 8.3 + log \frac{[0.005-0.003]}{[0.005+0.003]}\\pH = 8.3 + log \frac{[0.002]}{[0.008]}\\\\pH = 8.3 + log {0.25}\\\\pH = 8.3 + (-0.62)\\pH = 7.69$
